What is your pattern?

After reviewing our year 2015 and how things went. As usual a certain pattern developed among those new people trying to get a career started.

Most were rational and realistic others not so much.

Have you ever noticed how some folks simply cannot handle anything negative, other than their view of things.

If a student failed a subject, it was their teacher, or the whole school, but not a lack of effort on their part.

If their daughter was not voted most beautiful, the contest was rigged. It was a set-up. If they didn't get the promotion, it had to be something other than performance, because surely they were the most qualified.

It is exactly the same way in our business. We have a starting point for new talent. Someone that is not good enough at the time but shows a lot of promise and is serious about their acting or modeling career. The unfortunate fact is "EVERYONE DOES NOT QUALIFY', at least here they don't. Maybe some school, where the only qualification is you have a checkbook.. But if you are decent and serious we invest a lot of money in your career. Still there are those that get bitter, even mad. "I know I'm good, they just didn't see it, or they didn't like me'. I don't know what their problem is". And then they continue along that same old path.

I've said this before.

"IF YOU KEEP ON DOING WHAT YOU ALWAYS DID, YOU WILL ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU ALWAYS GOT"

Be objective and not subjective.
